July 28, 2008, 4:11pm (report abuse)H.R. 6259 will remove government placed obstacles for Huntington's Disease Patients. Huntington's Disease steals a persons ability to walk,talk and reason. The two year wait is a virtual death sentence for Huntington's Disease patients, as they are without much needed health care. These are taxpayers that have paid into Social Security. How can you keep appointments if you can't remember them. Please urge your congressmember to co-sponsor this bill today!
